Overview
- Casemiro, speaking after Brazil’s 2-1 loss to France on Thursday, told The Athletic he will not reverse his plan to leave at season’s end.
- Manchester United and the midfielder mutually scrapped a clause that would have added a year if he reached 35 Premier League starts, so he can play the run-in without triggering a new deal.
- Inter Miami and LA Galaxy have contacted him, yet both lack an open Designated Player slot and MLS rules cap salaries unless a DP spot is freed, with no formal offers reported.
- LA Galaxy are exploring a buy-down of Joao Klauss’s contract to open a DP slot, and Saudi club Al Ittihad are monitoring the situation under non-Saudi roster limits that may hinge on Fabinho’s future.
- Fabrizio Romano reports United will not reopen talks and will recruit a replacement, even as Casemiro remains a key starter under interim coach Michael Carrick during the team’s strong run.
